237 1. Typical Network Setup
238 11. Overview
239
240 The DLOS8N supports flexible network set up for different environments. This section describes the typical network topology. The network set up includes:
241
242 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
243 * **WiFi Client Mode**
244 * **WiFi AP Mode**
245 * **Cellular Mode**
246
247 1.
248 11. Use WAN port to access Internet
249
250 By default, the DLOS8N is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the DLOS8N’s WAN port to an upstream router, DLOS8N will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router. The network status can be checked in the **home page**:
251

430 11. Add a LoRaWAN End Device
431
432 This section shows how to add a LoRaWAN End device to a LoRaWAN network and see the data from TTN web site.
433
434
435 We use [[LT-22222-L>>url:http://www.dragino.com/products/lora-lorawan-end-node/item/156-lt-22222-l.html]] IO Controller as a reference device - the setup for other LoRaWAN devices will be similar.
436
437
438 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image034.jpg]]
439
440 **Step 1**: Create a Device definition in TTN v3 with the OTAA keys from the example LT-22222-L IO Controller device.
441
442
443 Three codes are required to define the device in TTN v3:
444
445 * DEV EUI - Unique ID code for a particular device.
446 * APP EUI - ID code for an Application defined in TTN v3.
447 * APP Key - Unique key to secure communications with a particular device.
448
449 A set of these codes are stored in each device by the manufacturer as the default codes for that particular device. Each device is shipped with a sticker with the default Device EUI as shown below.
450
451
452 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image035.png]]
453
454
455 Note: You may be able to change these codes in a device by using a configuration facility on the device e.g. the LT-22222 uses a serial port access and a series of AT commands.  Changing the codes may be necessary in the case where you have to use codes assigned by a LoRa WAN server.
456
457
458 For the TTN v3 server, you can use the codes set in the device as in the following example.
459
460
461 Select **Add Application** to open the screen below.
462
463 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image036.png]]
464
465 Open the **Application **select** Add end device**
466
467
468 Start Register the end device
469
470 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image037.png]]
471
472 Select OTAA activation mode
473
474
475 The LoRaWAN version for your device should be provided by the manufacturer in a datasheet as LoRaWAN version or LoRaWAN specification. The most commonly used LoRaWAN versions are v1.0.2 and v1.0.3.
476
477 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image038.png]]
478
479 First, input the End device ID, AppEUI and DevEUI.
480
481
482 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image039.png]]
483
484 Secondly, choose the corresponding frequency and LoRaWAN class capabilities.
485
486
487 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image040.png]]
488
489 Finally, Application layer settings input the corresponding AppKey. Before saving the configuration, check that the data matches the device.
490
491
492 **Step 2**: Power on LT-22222-L device and it will automatically join the TTN network. After joining successfully, it will start to upload messages to the TTN v3. Select the Live data tab and you will see the data appearing in the panel.
493
494
495 Note that it may take some time for the device data to appear in the TTN v3 display.

542 The DLOS8N can communicate with LoRaWAN ABP End Node without the need of LoRaWAN server. It can be used in some cases such as:
543
544 * No internet connection.
545 * User wants to get data forward in gateway and forward to their server based on MQTT/HTTP, etc. (Combine ABP communication method and [[MQTT forward together>>url:http://wiki.dragino.com/index.php?title=MQTT_Forward_Instruction]]).

812 1. Linux System
813
814 The DLOS8N is based on the OpenWrt Linux system. It is open source, and users are free to configure and modify the Linux settings.
815
816 1.
817 11. SSH Access for Linux console
818
819 User can access the Linux console via the SSH protocol. Make sure your PC and the DLOS8N are connected to the same network, then use a SSH tool (such as [[putty>>url:http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~~sgtatham/putty/download.html]] in Windows) to access it.
820
821
822 IP address:  IP address of DLOS8N
823
824 Port:         22 (via WiFi AP mode) or 2222 (via WAN Interface)
825
826 User Name:      **root**
827
828 Password:         **dragino** (default)
829
830
831 After logging in, you will be in the Linux console and can enter commands as shown below.

845 11. Edit and Transfer files
846
847 The DLOS8N supports the **SCP protocol** and has a built-in **SFTP server**. There are many ways to edit and transfer files using these protocols.
848
849
850 In Windows, one of the easiest methods is using the [[WinSCP>>url:https://winscp.net/eng/index.php]] utility.
851
852 After establishing access via WinSCP to the device, you can use an FTP style window to drag / drop files to the DLOS8N, or edit the files directly in the windows.
853
854
855 Screenshot is as below:

860 1.
861 11. File System
862
863 The DLOS8N has a 16MB flash and a 64MB RAM. The /var and /tmp directories are in the RAM, so contents stored in /tmp and /var will be erased after rebooting the device. Other directories are in the flash and will remain after reboot.
864
865
866 The Linux system uses around 8MB ~~10MB flash size which means there is not much room for user to store data in the DLOS8N flash.
867
868 You can use an external USB flash memory device to extend the size of flash memory for storage.
869
870
871

874 11. Package maintenance system
875
876 DLOS8N uses the OpenWrt [[OPKG package maint>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[e>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[n>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[ance>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]][[ system>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]. There are more than 3000+ packages available in our package server for users to install for their applications. For example, if you want to add the **//iperf //** tool, you can install the related packages and configure DLOS8N to use **//iperf //**.
877
878
879 Below are some example **//opkg //** commands. For more information please refer to the [[OPKG package maintain system>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]]** **([[https:~~/~~/wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg>>url:https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/opkg]])
880
881
882 In Linux Console run:
883
884 **root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg update**  ~/~/ to get the latest packages list
885
886 **root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg list**         ~/~/shows the available packages
887
888 **root@dragino-169d30:~~# opkg install iperf **~/~/ install iperf
889
890 The system will automatically install the required packages as shown below.

925 11. Can I make my own firmware for the gateway, where can I find the source code?
926
927 Yes, You can make your own firmware for the DLOS8N for branding purposes or to add customized applications.
928
929 The source code and compile instructions can be found at: [[https:~~/~~/github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06>>url:https://github.com/dragino/openwrt_lede-18.06]]

933 11. Can I use 868Mhz version for 915Mhz bands?
934
935 It is possible but the distance will be very short, you can select US915 frequency band in 868Mhz version hardware. It will work but you will see the performance is greatly decreased because the 868Mhz version has an RF filter for band 863~~870Mhz, all other frequencies will have high attenuation.

977
978 [[image:file:///C:/Users/93456/AppData/Local/Temp/msohtmlclip1/01/clip_image067.png]]
979
980 The DLOS8N has a fall-back IP address on its WAN port. This IP is always enabled so you can use the fall-back IP to access DLOS8N no matter what the WiFi IP is. The fall back IP is useful for connecting and debug the unit.
981
982 (Note: fallback IP can be disabled in the WAN and DHCP page)
983
984
985 Steps to connect via fall back IP:
986
987 1. Connect PC’s Ethernet port to DLOS8N’s WAN port
988 1. Configure PC’s Ethernet port has
989 IP: 172.31.255.253 and
990 Netmask: 255.255.255.252
